Have you updated to monterey? If so, a copy of your EFI would most appreciated.

I'm working on it, I still have a big network issue (no ethernet even if interfaces are recognized, no wifi even with a broadcom ship).

Did you have problems getting USB3.0 to work on your Catalina install? I still can't get them to work properly

Anybody got TB3 to work on NUC9?

Tried the EFI and it worked. Also tried another EFI and it worked but in different ways. Ended up using Mac mini 2018 config.

USB3 is only at USB 2 speeds. on all ports including the USB C. (Full speed if you remove any TB3 kext or TB3 in ACPI.) TB3 never worked correctly for me.

Audio is alcid=14 and the audio works.

Wifi and BT work, front SD card reader doesn't. Lower front audio jack had audio but no mic.

I left the Intel platform Trust on, SGX software controlled - seemed to have no difference.

These were my results using Monterey and the EFI above as a template. Updated to OC 8.8.


Thanks for the EFI. I couldn't get past the O with a line thru it before trying yours.
